The 2015 model year is a poor baseline given that the EG9600 is the very first UHD model LG produced. The jailbars are reduced to almost nothing in 2016 with the unfortunate occasional band still sneaking through.

Thats what i am hoping for , my c6 is scheduled to arrive 9/7/2016 , the EG9600 was not to bad , but my expectations were low , they are higher for the C6

Not an argument. Just pointing out the facts that you conveniently forget to mention when evangalizing dnice/certain kuros. And if you've seen an oled in a dark room, you'd realize there's still a pretty substantial gulf in between "basically zero black" and absolute zero

Black on an OLED is really just unlike anything I've ever seen before. Even when other things do true black, when for instance at times when certain FALD sets shut off their LED's even though it's still zero black it just doesn't looks the same to me. It doesn't have the depth of the OLED blacks. Sometimes I go into my Best Buy and I can always spot the OLED's right from the door (there is a clear view of pretty much the whole store from the entrance) from a good distance just by the blacks. One time my BB rearranged the tv's and moved the OLED's in a very different spot and I noticed on the other side of the store because of the signature blacks.

If LG was just a little more competent and had some more consistent quality control they would honestly have a perfect TV, or as close as there has ever been. Not to knock too hard on them, their OLED's are still amazing and among the best sets ever

Question to those who have had ISF mode unlocked, exactly how big is this brightness boost you get that I've heard so much about? Lately even though I am quite satisfied with how good it looks in the day in my room I do find myself wishing sometimes it was just little brighter, but I can't get it any brighter without raising black and screwing up accuracy because I don't have the ISF modes unlocked as of yet

It is quite a boost, my UK KRP-500A on Pure preset is about 32ftL with Contrast @ 36 & no clipping

ISF Day can be cranked up to 50ftL with contrast @ 38 with no clipping

It's quite a difference although far too bright for me at night with no lighting in the room, I have ISF Night @ 32ftl which is only a contrast setting of 26!

That's pretty amazing for a 1080p Plasma from 2008. I should have asked the guy I bought it from to unlock ISF mode, he had the service menu remote and he showed me the service menu when I picked it up from him. I didn't think of it, I don't even think I knew about the brightness boost at the time.

I don't know if you can unlock ISF mode with the service remote.i have a service remote it would nice if you could

Just recently, my PRO-111FD developed the dreaded 8 blue blinks which would happen when changing input source. It also happens occasionally when watching OTA TV
but quite rare. While the blue light blinking 8 blinks pattern, pressing display gives 6 orange blinks. When the problem happens, I'd have to wait 10 minutes sometimes longer
before turning the TV off/on for it to work again. If I change input, it happens again.

I found a copy of the PDP-5020FD Service Manual and according to PD/SD diagnostic table, 8 blue and 5 orange pattern means "Main IIC communication with main VDEC".
I think the VDEC is on main board so this would not be same as the power regulator fix for the IO_AUDIO assembly floating out there.

Anyone got this problem before or know of a fix? I'd appreciate any recommendation you can give. Thanks.

I paid 600 for a 111FD with 20K hours on it last April... was a bit of a risk and the price was high for so many hours but it works pretty flawlessly. I would say that's a good price especially for a 60 inch panel and less than 10K hours. Make sure it doesn't have the horrible red tint, although if it does that can be fixed

Hi, I'm thinking about upgrading my 111 Kuro elite 50" for a new tv.
Read good things about Vizio P65 HDR Dolby Vision set...
I still enjoy my Kuro for bluray more than my samsung led 6500 series and M series Vizio 2015 4K.

I have a PRO-111FD and am moving from the east coast to the west. I no longer have the box but I have a lot of cardboard and some bubble wrap. I am wondering what I should put on the inner layer of packing right up against the screen. I don't want to put anything abrasive like cardboard. Most new tvs just come with a layer of plastic. Should I just wrap it in shrink plastic or use some type of cloth directly against the screen? Sorry if this is a dumb question but just want to be safe and curious what you all would do to protect the screen for this type of move.

I would rap a soft sheet around the TV and put pillows against the glass. I don't have my original box either. When i move i'm being extra careful and using all types of safety material.

At least your TV should be easier to move. Mine is 60".

Damn. Great idea with the pillows. Yeah not stoked to move it but not completely sold on anything else that's out there yet. Maybe next year with more mature LG's and possible Sony OLEDs. Hopefully no moving damage forces my hand. Thanks.
